prayer in the morning. 7 j1's. one guitar. God's presence. tts was all there was. n it was gd.

'jammed' wif yi cheng during the free periods at the top of some stairs, n he reminded me of this song. or rather he played it n it came in2 my mind n stuck there. like its playing on loop

Love Me
Collin Raye

read a note my Grandma wrote
Back in 1923
Grandpa kept it in his coat
And he showed it once to me

He said
Boy you might not understand,
but a long long time ago
Grandma's daddy didn't like me none
But I loved your Grandma so

We had this crazy plan to meet
And run away together
Get married in the first town we came to and live forever
But nailed to the tree where we were supposed to meet instead
I found this letter
And this is what it said

If you get there before I do
Don't give up on me
I'll meet you when my chores are through
I don't know how long I'll be
But i'm not gonna let you down
Darling wait and see
And between now and then
Until I see you againI
'll be loving you . . .
Love me

I read those words just hours before
my Grandma passed away
In the doorway of a church
Where me and Grandpa stopped to pray
I know I've never seen him cry
In all my fifteen years
But as he said these words to her
His eyes filled up with tears

synergiz2006.. probably one of the most impacting four days in my life. it woke me n shook me up. juz when i needed it. we're at war for crying out loud. spiritual war. either we're on God's side or we're not. n if we're not, we're done for. There's no sittin on the fence here, cos all ur gna get is ALOT of fence up ur rear end. every moment, the devil is trying as best he can 2 drag ppl down 2 hell wif him, n sadly, he does manage 2 pull so many along wif him. so here's the choice, either u call it quits, or u go 2 war 4 God. abt 70ppl lose their life 4 Christ per hr... tts wad tt pat guy said. n if those 70ppl r willin 2 gif up all they got , shldnt we be doin' sth??

"my Son, i love You, i'm pleased wif wad u've done 4 me"
"i will b there 4 u..."
n then guess wad?
i cried
i'd 4gotten how it felt like 2 b totally consumed in the presence of the father
2 come b4 him with brokeness, 2 hear him speak n feel his love
2 speak wat was on my heart, NOT what was on my mind

I'm coming back 2 a heart of worship
It's all about YOU
It's all about YOU
JESUS

For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son. And that whoever believes in him shall not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16. Jesus died for you, aren't you gonna do anything about it?
